The beauty queen admitted that she had not been okay and that she had been in the dark. According to Chidimma, she needs to focus on herself and believes the year 2025 will be better for her.
Chidimma added that she wasn’t present at the other pageants, which had been taking place in the country because of trauma.
She said:
“I haven’t been okay and I’ve just been in the dark. I don’t even come on my Instagram, I think today is like that one time that I was like ‘okay, let me just go live, let me just post’, I didn’t even take a picture by the way, that’s just me. Like I said before, I just need to focus on me and by 2025 I know I’ll be fine, like by the first of January, I will be okay. So that is why I didn’t attend all these pageantries that have been taking place and all of those things because of trauma, there’s been a lot of trauma on a realistic level.”

Dupedarabidan:
“I have dealt with an unpleasant South African and a pleasant one before. Most of the grievance comes from a place of deprivation. The unpleasant ones are mostly those ones that think someone stole their entitlement while the pleasant ones are well to-do and just living life, They are not in competition with you. But you see those quarrelsome and deprived ones, they will even instigate other people to hate you.”
